It meant when I got to university I knew how much I could drink (although as a student I was too poor to drink much anyway haha) whereas there were people drinking like half a bottle of vodka.
I don't drink any alcohol nowadays so it's not like it turned me into an alcoholic either.
- graemep 3mo agoIts usually in the UK in my experience to give teenagers wine, beer or cider with meals. 16 year olds can currently have them with a meal in a restaurant or pub. Until a few years ago it was 14. > It meant when I got to university I knew how much I could drink (although as a student I was too poor to drink much anyway haha) whereas there were people drinking like half a bottle of vodka. I gave my kids some alcoholic drinks for just that reason.
